    Hi,

    Is this with Windows Defrag, or a third party one?

    Is C: an SSD or an HDD? Please provide as much details as possible.

    Try the command line version, defrag c: /a /v. You can do this from either a standard or elevated CMD prompt, although I recommend the latter type.

    Did you run Command prompt as Administrator? - Run as Administrator

    Are you an Administrator or Standard User?

    If an Administrator What Anti-virus do you have?
